The spacious kitchen is on the ground floor, which you can access by the outdoor stairs. On the same level, there is also another smaller bedroom that is usually used by event organizers and can be available for guests upon request. In addition, there is a large room for group events such as workshops, weddings and parties. This is where you can dance, feast and play music at night. We also have a lovely wooden sauna and two extra showers and toilets on the ground floor. If you want to indulge yourself, we can arrange different types of therapeutic massage services: deep tissue, reflexology, lymphatic and honey massage. If you requested in advance, we can also book a local masseur, who offers various types of therapeutic and relaxing massage. Other things to note We have a lovely dog named Car on our premises. Car is a very friendly, socialized Labrador, who loves to meet new people and dogs. You are welcome to bring your own dog (the pet fee is 10 EUR per day), but please note that there is no fence around the property. In another building, there is a farmhouse style tavern, which is open only for pre-booked groups. If you let us know in advance, we might be able to offer you a variety of delicious local food options for breakfast, lunch or dinner–vegetarian or vegan options available. We also have good local wines, beer, home-made herbal spirits and homemade fruit/herbal soft drinks, tea and coffee for you to enjoy. If you want to grill, we can provide BBQ equipment. Vida also makes different jams with our own fruit, juice and herbal cordials/syrup, which you can taste or buy. Don’t hesitate to ask us about organic and homemade essential oils and hydrolats that are made by our partners and are grown mostly on the beautiful herbal garden just next to our country house. If you let us know in advance, we can also arrange various creative workshops in nature such as gathering and cooking with wild plants and herbs or learning how to make and use essential oils. In the winter, the place is heated by wood-stove and an indoor fireplace and you will need to add firewood to keep the place warm. We can sometimes help you turn on the fire in the morning or when you are away, but please check with us if we can do that on the days you are planning to stay out a lot. It is important to keep adding logs regularly to keep the house warm.
